Tim Bateman of the Maori All Blacks scores a try during the international friendly match between Munster and Maori All Blacks at Thomond Park, Limerick, Ireland. It caps a remarkable week for Irish rugby, after the national side beat the All Blacks in Chicago. But more than that, this victory was the third time in 2016 that an Ireland team have out-thought a New Zealand outfit with their tactics. Before that, the famous 12-0 1978 Munster win over the All Blacks was all they had to hang their hat on. That galvanised the 26,000-strong Thomond Park crowd and indeed, the Munster team, into action.
